"Nothing can sum up what a mother is to a child better than this" -Robert Browning
This is about a working mother, but undoubtedly a mother is a
mother, whether working or not .
My own mother being a working mother gives me a first-hand experience of this situation. By the time I wake up and get ready to do my homework, she is back home to shower her abundant love on me, not to forget the scolding that all of us get for the mischief that we are up to the whole day..! Therefore, does it make any difference whether my mother is working or not? As far as quantity of hours is concerned, there is very little difference because she wakes up early to get me ready, prepare my breakfast and lunch, leave me at the bus stop and then rush to her own office. Poor mummy is the one who is losing out on her own needs and not me or other children with working mothers! Therefore we should not be selfish because our mothers go out to work to satisfy their own needs, feeling of independence and empowerment which is so necessary for human beings to grow and evolve. A working mother is more aware of the happenings in the world and hence adapts to bring up her child accordingly, so the benefit finally comes to the child. I can only conclude by saying that “quality is more important than quantity” and working mothers are good at spending quality time with their children. Most of our teachers are working mothers, aren't they? Am sure their children are very lucky to have them as mothers! I leave you with one last thought, “All mothers are working mothers. They have a 24 hour job and that is looking after us!!! Can anyone deny and debate this??"
